I have been drinking the formula Bettermilk for over a year now and it has done wonders for my body and my nutrition. I am a huge fan of the GMP whey protein in the new cambrooke formula’s and a big supporter of Cambrooke therapeutics. I have never enjoyed a formula so much. I dont even mind that it is a powder. I don’t mind having to bring a sports bottle and water with me when I am on the go. Its really easy to mix I just have to shake it up really well.
Over the past few weeks I have been struggling with my health and its been harder to eat well , eat alot or eat regularly and I have had a lot of nausea from stress. My friend Katie decide to bring me some of her tangerine restore. I had tried it when it first came out but realized quickly that it was not sutiable to drink alone as my number one formula and had not wanted to be needing to drink more than one formula. I did not want to complicate my routine.
Since katie brought me a case of her restore, I have found it to be very enjoyable and not had to incorpirate it . Since I double up my bettermilk and have 2 in the morning, and 2 at night but nothing at lunch , the restore fits perfectly. As I had been wanting to increase my bettermilk and have some at lunch but then would be getting to much protein.
The restore works well at lunch because its light, it is more hydrating then it is filling. I find its great to carry in my purse and its really great after my work outs or a swim. So I take it with me in my gym bag. It has also helped get me through the stomach issues, cold and flu I have had lately.
At the BC PKU day event I tired the lemon lime and really enjoyed that one too. They are very refreshing. Though the past few days I am finding my mouth feels dry after and I need to continue to drink just as much water.
I just switched my prescription with my clinic to be my 2 (15g) bettermilk in the morning with breakfast ( with whatever flavour MIO I pick) , 1 restore (10g) either tangerine or lemon lime at lunch and another 2 (15g) bettermilk ( and MIO) with dinner. So even though I am getting 10 grams more then what was recommended I feel much better through out the day.
I am almost finished the box Katie gave me and have ordered mine to come in soon! I could not pick between the 2 so I got both and that also gives me more variety too.
I was not a fan of the cambrooke complete bars but I look forward to see what is on the horizon for more GMP formula and look forward to being able to sample them all!

I must be the only person that can’t stand restore. I do like the peanut butter complete bars. I guess i am backwards

It is definitely a individual preference when it comes to picking a formula that works for you. I am glad you have found something you like that works for you.
The restore texture and flavour are hard to adjust to for us older PKU’ers . We are so use to the chalky thick formulas.
